In the past few days, the news that Princess Jingling would attend the Cold Food Banquet had already reached the ears of all the major families.
Therefore, early in the morning of the Cold Food Banquet, Jiang Li was pulled out of the warm bed by Bai Zhi.
"Princess, I heard that all the important officials and their wives in the capital will be attending the Cold Food Festival today. Don't worry, I will dress you up beautifully and make you the most beautiful among all the beauties!"
"You girl, you even came up with a new word."
Jiang Li yawned and teased Bai Zhi.
"I've been living with Miss Lu these past few days, and I've learned a lot of new words."
He glanced at Lu Sizheng who was waiting on the side. After a few days of rest and recuperation, her complexion had almost recovered.
I originally wanted to prepare a guest room for her, but for today's plan, I specially asked her to learn from Bai Zhi for a few days.
"After we leave the house, everything will go according to plan."
Jiang Li reminded again.
"Si Zheng, the safety of you and your father is paramount. You must not throw away your life for a scumbag. As for Qin Ji, there are plenty of opportunities to destroy him."
Lu Sizheng was surprised. She didn't expect that the princess could guess her thoughts.
"You have to trust me."
After saying this last sentence, Jiang Li took Lu Sizheng out of the house.
This year's Cold Food Banquet was hosted by the Bai Mansion. Everyone said that Princess Jingling went there to support her own medicine boy.
"Greetings, Princess."
When Jiang Li arrived at the Bai Mansion, there were already many carriages parked outside the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Li got off the carriage, Mrs. Bai came to greet him in person.
"Aunt Bai, you're welcome." Jiang Li had deliberately gone around to the General's Mansion to pick up Xue Rou. "I just heard from mother that you and mother are close friends. If I had known this, I wouldn't have let Bai Mo go..."
Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed. Ever since she helped Bai Mo detoxify last time, that guy has been too embarrassed to see her and has been staying in the kitchen of the herbal medicine shop helping out all day.
Madam Bai waved her hand. "It was Mo'er who started the mischief. The princess is right. She should let him know that there are always people better than you. Otherwise, with his arrogant nature, he will eventually get into big trouble. In my opinion, it is Mo'er's blessing to be taught a lesson by the princess."
Not to mention that her husband Bai Zhou has always praised Princess Jingling. In addition, even the people in the Imperial Hospital are under the management of Jiang Li. Although she is a woman, she still knows what to do.
These words made Jiang Li look at Mrs. Bai in a different light: "Having a mother like Aunt Bai is really Bai Mo's blessing."
After chatting for a few more sentences, Jiang Li said that it was her first time attending a Cold Food Banquet and she wanted to go for a walk first.
Therefore, Mrs. Bai sent someone to take Jiang Li to the backyard, and she took Xue Rou to the main room, where there were all the mistresses of the house. Everyone took this opportunity to see their old sisters and get together to complain.
During the Cold Food Festival, no fire was allowed. The main activities were plum blossom viewing, tea drinking, and the tasting of cold food cakes. When Jiang Li arrived at the backyard of the Bai Mansion, she saw a number of young women already seated in the pavilion in the middle of the Chaoshou Veranda.
"Greetings, Princess."
I don’t know who saw Jiang Li first, but immediately, the others stood up from their seats and saluted respectfully.
Jiang Li waved her hand, "No need to be so polite, just continue."
After saying this, he was led by his servants to sit in the main seat in the pavilion. For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
In the past, there were still some short-sighted people who would try to step on Jiang Li, but now, everyone knows that she is of noble status. No matter her family or husband, they can afford to offend either of them.
Moreover, everyone who came here today was told to get along well with Princess Jingling, but as soon as she arrived, she sat there drinking tea, and no one dared to speak first, for fear of disturbing Jiang Li's interest and ending up in trouble.
"I didn't see the princess in the main room, so I guessed you came here."
When the atmosphere became slightly cold, Princess Yong'an came over quickly.
The girls in the pavilion were all of no rank, but they all stood up and saluted obediently.
"Hey, why don't you see your previous maid?"
Sitting next to Jiang Li, Princess Yong'an noticed at a glance that there was a girl she had never seen before.
Also a beauty.
"Sisi, I haven't met the Princess of Yong'an yet."
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Sizheng, and out of the corner of his eye he saw several women looking over here intentionally or unintentionally.
"This servant pays respects to the Princess of Yong'an."
Under Bai Zhi's guidance, Lu Sizheng began to follow the rules well.
"This girl is so pitiful. I met her by chance a few days ago and just brought her to my side." Jiang Li put down the teacup and pretended not to chat. "Bai Zhi grew up with me since she was a child and I spoiled her. But when she saw that I had a new maid, she bullied me in private. Look, she was made to kneel in the palace as punishment."
The Princess of Yong'an County smiled helplessly, "Which mistress doesn't have a few maids to serve her? But you only have one maid with you all day long. You're probably going to spoil her. But your new maid looks good too."
"Well, too many people is troublesome. I like quietness."
"Then let's go to Chongjian Temple someday. It's very quiet there."
As he was speaking, the servant brought up the prepared cold food cakes.
After Lu Sizheng filled the cup of hot tea in front of Jiang Li, she handed the cold food cake to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took it and took a bite. It was soft and delicious, and the fragrance of plum blossoms instantly permeated his heart.
It tastes good.
only--
Jiang Li's face changed and he threw all the cold food cakes in front of him to the ground.
"Don't eat it, it's poisonous..."
After looking at the Princess of Yong'an County, Jiang Li looked at the ground again.
The weather was too cold and the ground was so chilly. After thinking about it, he threw the teacup to the ground as well. Then he clasped his hands together and leaned over the table beside him.
